An Almost Optimal Sorting Algorithm
Eliezer A. Albacea, Ph.D.
Director

College, Laguna, Philippines
eaalbacea@uplb.edu.ph
Abstract:
Some recent algorithms based on Quicksort exhibit an average number of comparisons of n log n + O(n) . In this paper, we show the existence of an almost optimal sorting algorithm whose average number of comparisons is n log(n + 1) - n + O(1). Thus, this algorithm is quite near the information theoretic lower bound when it comes to the average number of comparisons involved in sorting a sequence of n elements.
Keywords: Samplesort, Quicksort, Leapfrogging Samplesort, minimum-comparison sorting, analysis of algorithms.

Evaluation of XML Schema Clustering (Information Integration) Techniques
Gregg Victor D. Gabison, Ph.D.
Dean, College of Information, Computer and Communications Technology
University of San Jose – Recoletos
Cebu City, Philippines
ABSTRACT
As more web application developments are taking advantage of the universality of XML, techniques regarding XML clustering between different applications are becoming more necessary, which leads to more efficient handling of the increasing volumes of XML schemas employed, which if not manage could lead to serious problems. Various (XML clustering) techniques are currently accessible, but determining which fits or rightful for a certain situation leaves to be desired. In this paper, in each of the XML clustering technique, we provide a general idea and its specific approach/ technique with relevance to identified general data structure classification (graph, trees, etc). Following the approach/ technique will be the presentation of its key advantages and disadvantages. Other than presenting/ reviewing different (XML clustering) approaches/ techniques, this document could also spark interest the creation of newer, better or optimized XML Schema clustering techniques.
This paper is organized as follows:
1. Introduction
2. Background
a. XML Data Model
b. Attributes in the Data Model
3. Evaluation/ review of XML Schema integration Techniques
a. Ordered Tree (Tree based) technique
b. Graph Technique
c. Structural Similarity Approach
4. Observation and Findings
5. Conclusion

Expert System’s Evaluation of Student Learning Performance
Elmer A. Maravillas, PhD
Head, Research and Development Coordination Office (RDCO)
Cebu Institute of Technology (CIT), 6000 Cebu City, Philippines
Email: elmer2717@yahoo.com
ABSTRACT
This paper presents an evaluation strategy for student’s learning performance. It uses the expert system’s approach to reasoning with uncertainty. Given the answer sheets of students and the point assignment to each question of an examination, the strategy computes for the total scores.
These scores will be ranked from the highest to the lowest. Students clustered with the same scores will be re-ranked by considering the difficulty, complexity, and significance of each question in the examination.
The individual rank of students that belong to a cluster will be determined by utilizing adjustment values. Each question will have a distinct adjustment value which is inferred using a forward-chaining inference procedure with fuzzy logic as the backbone for reasoning under uncertainty considering the degree of difficulty, degree of complexity, and degree of significance.
The sum of difference of students belonging to a cluster will be determined using the adjustment values, points assigned to each question, and the scores obtained by the student for each question. By sorting the sum of difference of each student in descending order, the true ranking of the students will be revealed. Experimental results show that this method is able to really evaluate the true and distinct learning performance of students.

Co-author: Clif Anthony Cubero
Abstract
This research implements a graph derivation algorithm given a three dimension model of a building. Graph operations for path traversal can be performed on the derived graph. The model of the building represented using Scalar Vector Graphics (SVG) is accepted as an input for the graph derivation algorithm. The algorithm was tested using five different test cases to verify the correctness of the algorithm. A path traversal algorithm is then applied to the derived graph.

ABSTRACT
Computational problems in Bioinformatics research often involve large amount of data. In some cases data may be incomplete while large in terms of quantity. Hence, creativity is key when developing solutions to Bioinformatics problems. Such problems require development of algorithms and appropriate data structures to enable fast retrieval and storage of usually large bioinformatics data. This paper intends to elaborate on this theme through discussions of creative solutions to speci c bioinformatics problems involving fast counting, clustering, and simulation.

"Systems Biology of Viral Infection"
by
Eduardo R. Mendoza, Ph.D.
Abstract:
Traditionally, drugs have targeted virally encoded enzymes that are essential for viral replication. But with the propensity of viruses to develop drug resistance on one hand and the increasing availability of data on virus-host cell interactions on the other, the alternative strategy of host-oriented anti-viral treatment is gaining ground-some authors call this a “paradigm shift” already [1]. The basis of this alternative approach is the emerging field of “systems virology”, which combines both computational and innovative (often high-throughput) experimental techniques to gain an understanding of the dynamics of the infection process in terms of its molecular components and cellular subsystems involved. The talk will discuss some important trends in this field as well as potential applications. It will also introduce some recent projects where Filipino researchers (primarily from UP Diliman) are working with some of the pioneers in the field, including:
• the collaboration on modeling herpesvirus dynamics between J. Haas Lab (LMU/U Edinburgh), U. Reichl (MPI Magdeburg) and J. Bantang (NIP, UP Diliman) [2], [3]
• the establishment of an information system Vir.Lex. (read “Virholex “, short for Virus-host interaction Lexicon) within the MBaRC (Manila Bay Research Corridor) initiative of DLSU-Manila, UP Manila and Mapua. This system can also store information on planned collaborations between various Philippine institutions on dengue virus infections.
• the investigation of “artificial viruses” (which are essentially synthetic delivery systems for DNA or siRNA) by the Rädler Lab (Physics, LMU) [4]
• the implementation of a new modeling tool “brane caculus” as a collaboration between UP Dept of Computer Science (P. David) and Microsoft Research (Cambridge, UK) [5], [6] and its application to stochastically model influenza A virus dynamics in MDCK cells

Title: Amazing Biomolecular Computations
Schedule of Talk: Morning 24 Feb 2008
Abstract:
I will not be talking about the brain, which is perhaps the most amazing biological computational entity in nature. Instead, I will first give some interesting examples of biological processes where certain algorithms are obviously at play but hardly understood, and then discuss our modest contributions in elucidating the molecular and mechanistic origins of key cellular decisions. The primary goal of this talk is to help motivate the participation of more computational scientists in solving complex biological problems that – because of the current flood of data from omics technologies - are increasingly coming into focus.
The development of a multicellular organism – with intricate architecture, composed of specialized tissues and organs - from one single fertilized egg cell is a most fascinating phenomenon. How can the genome that resides in the DNA molecules of a cell orchestrate the development of a complex organism? An example that will be briefly described is the construction of the adult nematode worm (C. elegans) which is composed of about a thousand cells. The trajectories of cell differentiation and cell lineages in this organism are practically deterministic! It remains a widely open problem how this is carried out. I think the secrets will be unraveled by careful analysis of how cellular genomic information is expressed as the environment of a cell evolves during the growth of the organism. I will provide two examples of how information encoded in the DNA tells the cell how to respond to its immediate environment: the lac and tryp operons of the bacterium E. coli.
My collaborators and I have been interested in the question of how a eukaryotic cell decides when to replicate its DNA. Understanding the control of the cell cycle is essential in the study of diseases such as cancer. I will briefly summarize the biochemical networks regulating the cell cycle and then discuss what we have learned about the key network nodes that we think are responsible for triggering DNA replication.
